I like this idea. I'm putting together a couple little survival packs (car, home, general winter, zombie apocalypse) and I wanted an emergency blanket for each. But that's just a little too much money to spend on those projects (and I can't choose between the zombie apocalypse kit and the general winter kit).

Has anyone tried and tested one of these? Are they as effective as the ones you get at the store? And does the duct tape make them significantly harder to pack up? (my zurvival kit has gotta be nice and small so i can still run!)

This is an innovative idea however using this blanket out west is a more a hazard to your health than not having a blanket at all. I think I would rather be cold for one night before getting ripped apart by a bear. This is however a useful tool in those parts of the country that are bearless so to say.

-hi !, today is jan 7th, with the mid-term elections just over, the sides of the road are litter'd w/ ''vote for me signs - - check it out many of these signs are mylar bagsslipped over a bent wire frame, cleaning these things up is a environmentally friendly, politically correct thing to do !!!

Thanks for the comment Isurvival. I am going to have a more projests like this in the future. Just have to find time to do them. I also have other survival tips and Ideas at my blog www.SurvivalCentral.net. Cheers Robert
